By: Robert H. Sykes

People never love tax collectors and Matthew son of Alphaeus was probably no different from the others in Jerusalem. That is, until he met the Lord Jesus. Then he left his work and his money to follow Christ. Matthew may now feel that his greatest reward was to write the first gospel.

Matthew’s gospel was not the first of the four to be written, but it draws the connection between the Old and the New Testaments better than Mark, Luke or John. Like Paul, another Jew, Matthew’s great desire was that his own people, Israel might be saved. So he showed in his gospel how Christ perfectly fulfilled the promises of God in the Old Testament. The Holy Spirit helped Matthew to give all glory to the Lord Jesus. Starting with Abraham, the gospel of Matthew takes us all the way to the Great Commission.
